praise, gives the following facts and
arguments in favor of national aid
to education. 1t says:
The Federal government posses

1t has already recognized the neces-
sity of rendering all the aid in its
power to the cause of education,
and since its very foundation has
voted land to improve the public
school system of the several States.
These lands were accepted, and the
1ublic schools of naost of the West
ern and some of the Southern
States are founded upon these dona-
tons from the Federal government.
1t was Mr.. Jefferson who, century
ago, re ported the-Ordinance setting
apart the sixteenth section of each
township of public lands IN the ter
ritory of the Northwest Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, etc.-for school
purposes. This donation, made a

General Geo rye A. Sheridan relates
this story, which he picked up in New
Orleans. A delegation Of citizens of
that place visited President Lincoln to
beg him to remove General Butler
from command there. The President
listened while they presented their
grievances and then said Well
gentlemen, much as you dislike Gen.
Butler, at least he has done one good
thing for you, for by his wise sanitary
regulations he haskept theyellow fever

A certain village in western Penn
sylvania has been known for many
generations as the purgatory OF bad
housekeepers. To be model house
keeper is one ambition of its women.
Although many ofthem are wealthy,
very few have servants.
What l do myself liz well done,' is
their favorite maxim. Their houses
are Immediately neat, their rooms are
daily aired, swept. busted and then
closed up, while the family live in the
kitchen. The cupboards are full of
lucent jellies and jams ia new recipe
creates a stir of excitement i'm the CON-
munity only equalled by new stitch
in fancy work.
1T was years before we would give
in to sewing machines, said matron
of the village. 'and even now we make
oil underclothing by hand
A new conner TO tho town, woman
Of rare brilliancy and sweetness of ma
ture, was ostracised because her linen
sheets were not hemstitehed and she
brought her canned goods.
These women have no time for read
ing, travel or social enjoyment; they
are forced to remain silent while their
husbands or children discuss any mat
ter Of general interest Well cooked
viands and neat houses undou btedly
are good things. but they are not
worth the sacrifice of a woman's whole
Thoughts, life and being. Where the
treasure is there will the heat be also
and if a woman makes fetch OF her
table linen or the temporary box i'm
which she lives, her mind and affec-
tions soon win be measured by them.--

Proud of His Patch.

A poor boy was attending school one day
with large patch on one knee of his trows-
ers One of his schoolmates made fun of
him for this, and called him cold Patch. +"
"Why don't you fight him ?" cried one of
the boys ''I'd give it to him if he called
me So" "Oh," said the boy, ''you don't
suppose I'm ashamed of my patch, do you ?
For my part I'm thankful for good moth
er to keep me out of rags. I'm proud OF
my patch for her sake" This was noble
That boy had the courage that would make
him successful in the struggles of life. We
must have courage in our struggles If We
hope to come out right.

just as Cleveland (Ohio) reporter
entered the room where the poor un-
fortunntcs that are addicted to il "hit
the pipe" one Of the ladies was saying
that shc would bit the pipe first and
show the others how il was done
The club faced Chinaman with the
sleepy eyes then lay down on one side
OF the tray which occupied The center
of the bunk, aud the lady reclincd on
the other side She was very handsome,
her and elegant apparel was entire
ly out Of place in the dirty room. while
her shapelv head r. clined on the black
dirty pillow, which she would have
undoubtedly scorned TO touch outside
of an opium joint. Her beautiful eyes,
sparkling with expectation, closely
watched the manipulation of the Ce-
lestial as he prepared the pipe for her
use. He took steel rod, the size of
a knitting. needle, and dug down the
small bottle, bringing up on the end
piece of piece of opium about the
size of pea, which he proceeded to
cook over the small blaze of the lamp.
When the opium sizzled and fried in
the blaze he would insert it into TIE
small hole in the bottom of the bowl,
would fry what was leftagain, and re-
peat the operation until the bowl was
filled. Then he put the filthy mouth
piece to the mouth of the lady, who
eagerly opened her ruby lips and
closed them again oyer the amber,
closed her beautiful eyes and sucked
the smoke from the deadly drug with
the most apparent relish. while the
Cbinamen with half closed eyes, beld
the bowl over the fame ..and watched
that it was kept going until the load
was exhausted. One pipe was not
sufficient for the lady, and the Celesti-
al gave grunt of approval when she
ordered him to gil it, for, as was after
wards learned, John gets twenty-five
cents for each pipeful, which it takes
about q minute and half to consume.
After the lady had finished her second
pipe she arose from the filthy bunk to
give place to another, remarking
Now, I'll sleep well when | get home,
The one who tried it next was q fine
looking, richly-dressed lady, and as
she doffed her elegant sealskin cloak

as her companion, who had tried it first,
had to instruct her how to do it.
Il nate to lie down in that dirty
place, she said.
'Oh, you won't mind that when you
get get used to it. The smoke will
make you feel so nice that you won't
think of where you are.'
Thus persuaded the lady crawled
into the bunk and lay down watching
with curious eyes the manoeuvres of
the pig tail as he fixed the opium.
When all was ready she took the stem
between her lips and began putting,
but the Chinaman was not satisfied,
as he gave several grunts OF disap-
proval and evidently considered that
she had much to learn before she
would become an artist at smoking.
She could not go more than one pipe
and said she felt dizzy when she put
on her cloak. The other lady was e.
bout to smoke, when the second one
said she was too sick to wait so they
paid John and left
